DTC U1417: Coding Data Malfunction

CAUTION
^ If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
^ Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the communication circuit is normal.
^ When the diagnostic trouble code No.U1417 is set in AWC-ECU, the diagnostic trouble code may also be set in ETACS-ECU. When the diagnostic trouble code is set in ETACS-ECU, perform the diagnosis of the diagnostic trouble code for ETACS-ECU first.

OPERATION
AWC-ECU receives the vehicle information stored in ETACS-ECU via CAN bus lines.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
The code is set when the vehicle information received from ETACS-ECU is not correct.

PROBABLE CAUSES
^ The CAN bus line is defective.
^ Malfunction of the ETACS-ECU
^ Malfunction of AWC-ECU
^ ETACS-ECU has been interchanged between two vehicles.
